Thomas adds, “Beethoven was my gateway to classical music. When I was about 10 I formed a rock band together with three other boys. I loved it. But when I first heard Beethoven’s Pathétique Sonata about a year later there was no way back. The rock band disbanded and I reveled in Beethoven, listening to and playing all I could get hold of. I feel a connection to his music, and in some way I felt understood through it. And it opened my ears to all those composers who had inspired him — and to those he inspired afterwards. His music had an elemental force, it was Photo: KaryaPhoto: Schanilec larger than life, and it had a humanity and warmth. I couldn’t imagine a life without it.”

This season Thomas invites us to explore his most formative music, letting us inside his musical identity and showcasing his personal touch and artistry.

As music inspires Thomas, he is sure to pass on the same to Seattle. We look forward to seeing him step on the podium and begin his new journey with the Symphony. Photo: Brandon Patoc Brandon Photo:

MODEST MUSSORGSKY Pictures at an Exhibition

BORN: March 21, 1839, in Karevo, Russia DIED: March 28, 1881, in Saint Petersburg

ORCHESTRATED BY MAURICE RAVEL BORN: March 7, 1875, in Ciboure, southwest France DIED: December 28, 1937, in Paris

WORK COMPOSED: 1874; orchestrated 1922 WORLD PREMIERE: October 19, 1922, in Paris, conducted by Serge Koussevitzky.

What to Listen For Mussorgsky stated that the stirring melody that opens Pictures at an Exhibition — stated by solo trumpet and echoed phrase for phrase by the orchestra — signifies himself viewing a series of Monet, Renoir, Degas, drawings in a gallery. This Promenade theme unifies the composition: it forms and Their Circle the subject of several interludes between movements and reappears in two of them — mysteriously in Catacombs and French Impressionism triumphantly in The Great Gate of Kiev. and the Northwest In 1874 the Russian composer Modeste Mussorgsky received word of a memorial exhibit of pictures by the artist and architect Victor Hartmann, who had died a year earlier. Hartmann had been a close friend of Mussorgsky, and after visiting the gallery where his late companion’s pictures were displayed, the composer resolved to pay his own tribute by writing a set of piano pieces inspired by the drawings. Mussorgsky worked with remarkable speed, completing the score in a few weeks.

The finished work represented ten of Hartmann’s images, a format which might have made for a loose suite of unrelated movements. But Mussorgsky prefaced his musical pictures with a prelude in which he imagined himself, as he described, “roving through the exhibition — now leisurely, now briskly — in order to come close to a picture that has attracted [my] attention.” EXHIBITION OPENS The theme of this Promenade unifies the September 28, 2019 composition: it forms the subject of several interludes between movements and www.TacomaArtMuseum.org reappears in two of them — mysteriously in Catacombs and triumphantly in The Great Gate of Kiev.

His arrangement was inspired even Your backstage pass to when unorthodox. The presentation of the mournful melody of The Old Castle by the saxophone is as effective as it is unexpected; the folk tune heard in Bydło each performance. (whose title refers to a three-wheeled cattle cart) is both ponderous and lyrical when sung in the high register of an euphonium.

The music is sufficiently suggestive that the individual “pictures” require but a little description. Tuileries is the famous gardens in Paris, here portrayed with children at play. Ballet of the Chicks in their Shells derives from Hartmann’s sketch of decor for a ballet by Marius Petipa, the renowned choreographer at the Imperial Theater in Saint Petersburg. Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuÿle is a composite of two figures Hartmann drew near the Warsaw ghetto. Mussorgsky, who owned these drawings, described them as “two Jews, one rich, the other poor,” and they seem to be quarreling.

Catacombs corresponds to a drawing Hartmann made of the famous Roman tombs. Its music continues directly into Mussorgsky’s meditation on an inscription there: “Cum mortuis in lingua mortua” — “With the Dead in the Language of the Dead.” Baba Yaga is a witch familiar in Russian folklore. The finale depicts With feature stories, show previews and Hartmann’s design for a majestic stone arch to be built over a small chapel in Kiev; an extensive local performance calendar, Mussorgsky imagines both the church encorespotlight.com takes you backstage — we hear a traditional Russian hymn and ringing bells — and the great arch for a new perspective. sheltering it.
